Hi all,
I am new to this forum. This seems to me to be a jellyfish galaxy affected by the surrounding cluster. Does anyone have info or thoughts?
Thank you,
Julian

looks like there may be some jellyfishin going on there. really interesting dust cloud covering up the central nucleus as well.
Go to DR9 for the normal RGB colours, there isn’t any i-band data in this general area.
I think I recognized this galaxy in one of my posts, and it has now been multiplying in recent posts
If you look at the marked part, you can see that it is not the Jellyfish Galaxy, because in the case of the Jellyfish Galaxy, there is something that looks like squid legs, but this does not exist
Let me show you a representative example photo!
You’re looking at the wrong side of the galaxy. The other side shows clear signs of ram pressure stripping.

If it’s the other side, I looked again after setting the brightness, contrast, etc. Is this part correct?
This is a type of galaxy with long tendrils found in clusters yes - the north following (left) side is
